From the entire small community, only you could choose an object.
But now I'm curious, would you actually take a pen if someone already had an axe? That sounds like poetry π
if there is already someone bring an axe, then I can do something else?
but seriously what do you need - drinking water from the mountain, fruits and nuts from the tree, seafood from the sea, got the axe to cut the wood to get warm and cook food, oh wait, maybe better take a copper pot so can make something hot and think π
reply
copper pot with me so I can make something hot tea
well done ! That pot also could have even more use.
LOL I should make a meme:
- me, Lux and Natalia thriving on a side of the mountain, with the axe, pot and the beers
- on the other side of the mountain 0xbitcoiner, hungry, no shelter, unhappy, just reading a book and waiting for the plants to grow. ππππ
In exchange for an axe, which could be built, you would let all the knowledge in a book be forgotten forever. You must be trolling because otherwise I don't recognize you, is that you NatΓ‘lia? π

I was thinking long term π documenting all the experience for later generations to learn from.
but it seems a copper pot is more practical! what a good thought experiment!

In the beginning, there was no paper or pens. You would have to pass on knowledge by word of mouth. And, not to belittle you because I don't know you, your knowledge must be inferior to what a book has. Or don't you think so?
reply
Even that is inferior, you can learn, just by observing. But until then, you need a tool. Without a tool, you are dead in few days or even eaten by a large animal because you cannot defend yourself.
Or @Lux is coming and kill you for the book.

I see your point, which is the same as Natalia's. Screw the knowledge that would be lost... I get it π

This is how knowledge slips away. Think about it: what if you were gone in three days?
Will be really fun to see this scenario. I will just laugh, looking to 0xbitcoiner how he struggle to read that plants book and wondering around looking for the exact plant in the forest LOL
Meanwhile we have a nice meal and drinking beer under a roof.
knowledge is what you learn doing real stuff not reading in books.
Books are good, yes, but NOT in this extreme situation.

but I've learn how to make paper:)

depends on what books we are talking, but I like to learn from doing and quite a fast learner. π

and now I see why copper tools rooted so deep in this part of the old lands! it makes sense because it's useful.

Please answer yes or no. Wouldn't it be better to have access to the centuries of knowledge contained within a book?
